Jesus maybe they should've waited until the end of this year to fine him for something that happened months ago.

Why exactly should the NFL have waited to fine him?

So new rule, NBA: Unless you have a root canal at halftime, SHUT UP AND PLAY!

Alcohol on Urlacher??? Strippers on Urlacher??? Hookers on Urlacher???

What is Urlacher's episode on the Jerry Springer Show Alex?

Im pretty sure the Vitamin water company is gonna pay for that fine. I bet Urlacher told them that he'll wear the hat if they pay the fine.

Think about it, you get paid 200Gs to promote a product for a week, get fined 100G for it, you still come out on top.

Plus, its good for the company, because they get more exposure when tv stations such as ESPN report on it. They got a return on their investment, Urlacher made some money, and they worked the NFL.

Its good business.

And with all that said still Gatorade> Vitamin Water.

I am quite sure that Urlacher was well aware of what he was doing there. The reason the fine was so high was because the NFL assumed the money would be paid by the sponsor or that Urlacher was paid significantly to wear said hat. All in all, Vitamin Water got a great promotional deal out of it. They didn't have to pay the huge fees to become an NFL sponsor, and they're getting a ton of publicity.

Yeah. When you factor in the large amount of added national exposure, it actually seems wise to just plan something like this into your advertising structure.

Oh definately. Its a great business move on the company's part. They got way more exposure than 100gs should buy you. Say they spent 200gs in total, 100gs for the fine, and 100 for Urlacher, thats still a great investment.

You ever see that show Orange County Choppers? You see companies use them as a form of advertisement all the time. Like Snap-On for example. They know that alot of people who watch that show, would be inclined to buy their tools.

So they pay OCC 200gs to build a bike, and they get 2 1 hour episodes involving building a bike for Snap-On. Thats 2 hours of advertising for 200gs, directed at your target audience. Think about that. Its brilliant. Thats the main reason why OCC blew up. For that exact reason.

Funny thing is that I hate the color red for the most part (long, uninteresting story), but I love red Gatorade. I think it's just a flavor preference, but surely people care about what I like.

I immensely care about your "fruity" preference when it comes to Gatorade! :D

Bigdawg cracks me up. Only he could make a painful statement that I made even more painful, yet still amazingly amusing to me. Bravo.

*Takes bow and graciously accepts the kudos*

Although I don't have a speech prepared for this its only fitting to say a few words. I aim to please seems to about cover it I think.

Yeah that previous post felt as though I was overstaying my welcome as it were.

Gatorade pays the NFL like $61,000,000 a year for the rights to be the official sports drink of the league. Of that $61m, 60% goes to the players and is distributed amongst the players.

$36,600,000 to the players, on average that's over $20k per player. While that might not be a lot to Urlacher who is getting six, maybe seven, figures from Vitamin Water that is a big deal to the players who can't get endorsement deals like that.

Essentially if anything Urlacher was screwing over his teammates and fellow players.
